Question

Vector v has the initial point (-3,-1) and the

terminal point (-5, 7). Write v in component
form.

Answer 1

(-2, 8)

Explanation:

Subtract the initial point from the terminal point to find the components of the vector:

(-5, 7) -(-3, -1) = (-5+3, 7+1) = (-2, 8) . . . . v in component form

Or, you may want it as -2i +8j.
